Two weeks ago, finance and administration staff were given until June 6 to consider offers from the university after being told their jobs would be disestablished.
Tertiary Education Union organiser Shaun Scott said most people were ''keen to stay'' but had yet to find out exactly what their new positions would entail, and clarity was also needed on the timeframe for the establishment of new jobs.
''People are just handing in their final decisions,'' he said. ''It continues to be a stressful and long process.''
''Uncertainty has been a continual thing, which isn't great for people's wellbeing.''
It was too early to say how many staff decided during the two-week consultation to take redundancy and a few staff had been given a slightly longer timeframe, he said.
Sixty-five people were offered either a lower-paying position or the option of taking redundancy, while a further 215 staff had been offered the chance to take up a job that was different from their existing position but at a similar level.
The end of the decision-making process brought with it exhaustion but ''some relief from a number of people,'' he said.
The support services review began in 2015 and will affect the Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch campuses.
